Excellent adaptation.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Like most of the other posters I remember watching this show as a kid. Every Sunday on the United Kingdoms Independent Telavision Channel (the U.K.s only commercial station at the time). Loved the characters especially Nick and Relic who's seemingly constant feuding was one of the aspects of the show that made it so engaging. Of course the scenery of the coast of British Colombia was also amazing. The main episode I remember is the one where two of the teenage characters get stuck on an Island and the girl goes into a Diabetic coma. Alos to the person who posted about the name of Nick's boat it was indeed the Persephone, named after the Greek Goddess I imagine. I am now going to try and get this series on D.V.D.

My dad was in to electronics, we had a really good antenna for our TV, and on Sunday nights we could pick up Ch 11 out of Canada, I think it was Kingston. I'd watch this show every Sunday night as a kid, I thought it was great. I know this sounds old, but I don't think a lot of the TV shows today have the presence that this one did. The characters were good, especially in the early seasons, and I liked the seeing coastline and the boats. I had no idea it went on till 1990, I graduated high school and went away to college in 1981, between college and jobs I never got back in to an area where I could pick it up. I miss it, and shows like it. My hats off to Canada for making a really wonderful TV show.

I grew up in the Muskoka area in Ontario and remember watching The Beachcombers every Sunday evening. It was one of the last shows of the evening we were allowed to stay up and watch before bed time. It really is hard to believe "Nick" and "Relic" are both gone. They will be forever remembered with a fondness that a lot of Canadians felt for the show. So many of our Canadian icons have fallen the last few years that it serves to remind us how quickly time passes. Nick, Relic, Mr. Dressup, Friendly Giant all legends in their own right to a generation of thankful youngsters who are quickly entering into the final leg of their own journey through life. Let the younger "Boomers" reflect on their own childhood and bring The Beachcombers back to Mollys Reach and Edmonton and Bracebridge and Halifax...

I grew up watching the tv series. I used to go down to Lower Gibsons and watch them film some of the episodes when I was a kid. Now that I have moved to Ontario, I try to watch it whenever the reruns are on and even the tv movie "The New Beachcombers" I wish they would start up a new series like the old one.....I miss it so.
